Growing Opportunities

Introduction

Each year, farmers are asked to do more with less, so maximizing the yield from each seed — and protecting that yield against outside stress — is critical.

Monsanto works to improve the yield of seeds through advanced breeding techniques and to protect those gains with the trait combinations produced by our industry-leading biotechnology capabilities. We support this superior performance with a unique customer-oriented market strategy that effectively brings this increased yield to the farm.

The bottom line: better-performing seeds offer improved profitability for farmers and narrow the gap between worldwide supply and demand. Monsanto’s current and near-term seed and trait offerings have the company poised for expanded growth between now and 2012.
